Do all little girls want to be princesses at some point and time? Mine seems to enjoy princess play and we decided to make it a girls' day out. Two other girlfriends and their daughters joined us for a Princess Listening Party at our home where we played games, ate cupcakes, and listened to the new Canciones de las Princesas (songs from Disney princess movies now available in Spanish) that include titles from Ariel, Beauty and the Beast, Hercules, Tangled, Snow White, Mulan and others.
It was so much fun for the
girls who all chose to wear their princess dresses or theme dresses to the
party not because it was requested but because they all preferred it.Hilarious!After we sang, played, and ate we headed out to watch Disney’s Dream on
Ice.
Here are the three girls at the intermission giggling and giddy.

Most of you know that I was recently pregnant.Our baby girl is about to turn 6 months old
so it wasn’t that long ago that I was struggling with all the changes of
pregnancy especially the swollen feet in the last months. Imagine how happy I was when I was invited
to participate in the launch of New Life shoes for expecting moms.I may not be having any more
children but I know it was about time someone thought about the changing needs
of expecting women when it comes to footwear.
Not surprising, the New Life footwear concept was born at an
OB’s office and with the help of a very experienced team and several years of designing,
refining, and testing the shoes are now ready for customers.During the launch the team responsible for
these ingenious shoes spoke to media and a group of “mom” bloggers.
We were able to try a pair on while we felt how all that technology they were describing made for a very
comfortable fit.Here is a little
excerpt on that technology from their website:
New Life Shoes
feature our one-of-a-kind Z-Fit System (patent pending). There are no laces to
tie or re-tie, just a single strap that allows New Life wearers to tighten or
loosen the entire shoe with one hand.
The Z-Fit strap is
strategically located on the inside of the foot so it’s easy to reach. You’ll
never again have to stoop or bend to tie your shoes. Thanks to the Z-Fit
System, your New Life Shoes go on easy and stay fit the way you see fit.
Not only easy-on,
New Life Shoes are easy on your feet. Our special 5-Layer Cushioning System
cradles your foot while providing breathable, moisture-free support. We’ve also
included a removable Cushioning Spacer to help create more space and a
customized fit for each foot. All of this
technology adds up to a faster fasten, a custom fit and comfier shoe all the
way around.
Personally I
loved the fit and the overall comfort and would have KILLED for these shoes
just seven months ago when I had to live in sandals because they were the only
thing that fit at nine months along. I also am happy that the price point is
reasonable and that unlike many maternity items that have a limited life span
these shoes have use well beyond the last trimester of pregnancy.Since they are so adjustable you can use them
even AFTER your pregnancy is done.
New Life
gave the bloggers present at the launch a pair for us.This said, I have a coworker who is expecting
and as much as I liked my sample shoes I knew she would LOVE them even more so I
gifted my pair to her.She is expecting
her third child and therefore already does her share of running around after
her other two very active pre-school and school aged children… if anyone needs
a pair of comfy athletic shoes it’s her.She wore them the whole day at
work and said she has worn them at home and on the weekends while they run
around with all her other kids’ activities and reports that they are a
comfortable fit.
So now for
the fun part!New Life Shoes would like
to share the “love” so they have very generously allowed me to giveaway a pair
in the size and color of the winner’s choice.If you are expecting, trust me, you want these shoes.Easy to put on, to adjust, and very
comfortable it’s almost everything an expecting mom wants… if only they could
also give your feet a massage. J
See the Raffle Copter entry form below and
follow the instructions to enter. Winner
will be announced Feb. 15, 2012. Shoes will be available to ship around Feb. 24, 2012. Good luck!
With an almost four year old daughter at home who does not attend pre-school yet I can’t tell you how much we love the Disney Channel and especially the Mickey Mouse Club House. So when I heard that they were releasing a new "I heart Minnie" DVD on February 7, 2012 that includes a digital copy (so we can watch on the iPhone, tablets, etc.) I was ecstatic!
Of course this new DVD is just in time for Valentine’s Day but also just in time for our daughter’s 4th birthday (maybe we’ll show it at the party) and since it includes five, fun-filled episodes - each underlining the themes of friendship, teamwork, sharing and problem solving – and an all new bonus feature “You’re Invited to Minnie’s Birthday Party,”; it’s a perfect fit! Even better... this DVD is also in Spanish so for those of you trying to teach Spanish to your kiddos you can always select the language and get two great DVDs in one.
To celebrate I am running a promotion on this blog and one lucky reader will win a copy for themselves. To enter follow the simple directions below and I will use Random.org to choose a winner on the 7th. Winner’s name will be posted at the end of the blog in an update post before midnight on 2/7. In the mean time here are some activities to help celebrate the release. Poster
